How did he injure his hip? Do you think he'll be ok

@ed2kou1 No one really knows. He has had the injury/defect noticeable since May 2009 or prior. At one time there were 3 young Nkuhuma males and two of the three had limps involving their hind leg/hip area. The one with the most severe limp seemed to have a dislocated hip. This may be that one but it is hard to say as the other one's condition may have progressed & worsened over time. It makes you wonder if they were injuries or genetic defects. One limping male disappeared sometime ago.

@muttluver Well if he made it this long, guess he's adjusted to it. Long as he has a friend, I like his chances.
